Darrel was born in Fort Worth, Texas and grew up in the small town of Glen Rose, Texas. At the age of eighteen, he had a life transforming encounter with Christ which brought a peace and fulfillment that he never thought was possible. Since that time, his desire has been to share the good news of eternal and abundant life in Christ with others.    

Darrel met and married his wife Denise in Glen Rose. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Howard Payne University and his master’s from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has been the pastor at Central since November of 2009. He takes great joy in being a pastor and teaching and preaching God’s word.

Darrel and his wife Denise have two grown children and one incredible grandson. Their third child has been with Jesus since 2008. They are grateful for God’s precious gift of family. He has also been known to share some really corny jokes.
